    Andrew Hinkelman Interview | Human-Centered Leadership, Executive Coaching & CEO Growth

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Hinkelman, a human-centered leadership coach for CEOs, CTOs, founders, and executive teams, for a powerful conversation about leadership, resilience, burnout, relationships, and personal transformation. A former CTO and certified executive coach, Andrew now works with senior leaders who want to become better leaders of people—not simply better executives. His philosophy is rooted in a powerful idea: at the senior leadership level, professional development is personal development. Before you can effectively lead a team, you have to learn how to lead yourself. Andrew's own journey gives that philosophy real weight. After experiencing corporate burnout, he made the transition into entrepreneurship and executive coaching, building his career around a relentless focus on people, relationships, trust, and helping others succeed. In this engaging conversation, Andrew shares his story from technology leadership to executive coaching and explores what it really takes to build resilient, human-centered organizations. We discuss CEO coaching, CTO leadership, executive development, emotional intelligence, workplace relationships, burnout prevention, resilience, self-leadership, entrepreneurship, and the challenges facing today's leaders. Whether you're a CEO, CTO, founder, entrepreneur, executive, manager, technology leader, or aspiring people leader, this conversation offers valuable insights into becoming more effective while remaining grounded in what makes leadership truly human. From his base in Seattle, Andrew takes us through his entire journey and explains why the best leaders don't simply manage people—they understand them.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with award-winning author and former JPMorgan Managing Director and Head of Americas Corporate Banking Jane Buyers for an extraordinary conversation about Wall Street, resilience, leadership, family, identity, and discovering meaning beyond professional success.

    Bret Kolman Interview | From Hospital CEO to Faith-Based Leadership & Soul Rest

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this episode, we sit down with former hospital CEO, faith-based leader, and author Bret Kolman for a deeply personal conversation about leadership, faith, reflection, and discovering true soul rest. Bret spent more than a decade leading two hospitals, navigating the demands and responsibilities of healthcare leadership while embracing an unusual practice for a CEO: periodically stepping away from the demands of his position to fast, reflect, connect with other faith-based leaders, and seek God. Those intentional pauses became transformative. They produced creative breakthroughs, greater peace, deeper spiritual understanding, and a collection of practical lessons that eventually became his book, Wisdom That Leads to Soul Rest. In this inspiring conversation, Bret shares how his experiences as a hospital executive shaped his understanding of leadership and why stepping away from the noise of everyday life can create space for clarity, renewal, and wisdom. We explore faith-based leadership, spiritual growth, burnout, reflection, sabbaticals, finding peace, purpose, and the importance of creating room for what matters most. From his base in Lee's Summit, Missouri, Bret opens up about his remarkable journey and the 23 bite-sized nuggets of wisdom that emerged from years of intentional reflection and spiritual practice. If you're interested in leadership, faith, Christian living, spiritual growth, personal development, executive leadership, finding peace, purpose, and living a more meaningful life, this conversation offers plenty to consider.
